Hi ya folks, Probably this sort of thing already got mentioned, but I know that lots of martial arts have codified ways of dealing with multiple attackers. Our school, shinden yoshin ryu jujutsu, has them and they are of a genre fairly common for such systems. They're called "toritsuke" and has methods for 2 man, 3 man and 4 man captures. I know most of our school toritsuke tactics, they do somewhat work. I've seen the same type of thing from other schools (of Jujutsu), have you guys not considered these methods? I mean, their codified and everything... with a full set of explanitory principles and tactics. I dunno, maybe you have already covered this subject and I just didn't catch it while reading over the thread...
